With increases in obesity rates over the past several decades, health care providers have become concerned about the effects of obesity on health. As a health psychologist, you are interested in people’s perceptions and responses to food as this might influence obesity. You are curious if people that are impulsive or have difficult with impulse control are more likely to be obese and if they perceive sweet, high calorie foods as being more desirable than the general population. Given this, you screen a group of participants and recruit participants (n=20) that have high impulsivity scores (that is, they are more impulsive). From your sample, you collect participant’s weight and scores on the Food Perception Inventory (FPI) which measures individual’s preference for high calorie foods. For obesity, you know the national mean (168) and standard deviation (26.38), but you only know the population mean (103) for the FPI. Using the data below, answer the following questions:

The diameter of the discharge and suction pipe of a boiler feed pump is 4 inches and 6 inches, respectively. The water delivered is 250 GPM and the temperature is 60 F. The discharge pressure near the pump is 90 psig and the suction is 12 in.hg vacuum. Find the total dynamic head if the discharge gage is located 3 ft above pump centerline and the vacuum gage connection to the suction pipe is 2 feet below the center of the pump. Assume that the head necessary to overcome the frictional resistance through the pump is 2.20 feet.

A steel ruler (100 mm) is used for measuring the length of a block. The ambient temperature is found likely to vary in between 24 °C and 25 °C. The temperature is likely to be anywhere within these limits. The temperature variation follows square distribution, with expected value to be 24.5 °C. Determine the degree of uncertainty that will be registered when measurement is done using steel scale? CTE = 11.5 x 10-6 / °C

A steam turbine receives superheated steam at 18.0
kg/s, 500.°C, and 3.00 MPa and exhausts it to 10 kPa with a quality

determine the rate of heat loss from the turbine surface if the
power output is 20.MW The surface temperature of the turbine is
uniform at 350.°C, and the local environment (ground state) is
taken to be saturated liquid water at T0 = 20.0°C. Neglect all flow

A feedwater heater is a device to heat the feedwater before it goes into the boiler. This device receives one stream of saturated vapor at 0.8 MPa and another stream of compressed liquid at 0.8 MPa and 60 oC. These two streams combined to become saturated liquid at 0.8 MPa at the exit of the feedwater heater. The mass flow rate of the compressed liquid is 100 kg/s. Determine a) the mass flow rate of the saturated vapor, b) the exergy destroyed in the feedwater heater (To=300K, Po=0.1 MPa) (10)
